How to sum up Rez...
Its not a game its an expirience?
Cliche but very true when it comes to Rez.
Originally released on PS2 with a certain "mature" peripheral that we will cease to awknowledge;-)
It truly was a one of a kind game on the PS2 that missed the mass marketing to bring to the attention of the masses.
Re-released in HD truly shows the scope of this game and it longetivity. A "mind killing" soundtrack that borrows from trance music's gritty grimest beats courtesy of Adam Free Land on Area 5. An expirience for the senses. Worth your pennies, download the trial but be forewarned you will want the full game!
Simply put: Awesome!

Words cannot describe this game. I could end the review there but instead I'll try. Rez is the shooter sequel to Space Channel 5, wherin you navigate the inside of a Network as a polygonal avatar, destroying enemies in an attempt to bypass security and hack a sort of confused Master Control kind of program in a trippy philosophical 3D flying adventure. Oh, and the whole thing features graphics that look like tron and pulses to electronic music which changes because of the beats of firing your weapon. Sound crazy? It is. And oh-so-awesome.

I've never found another person loved Space Channel 5 the way that I do (despite never being able to beat either the first or the second game in the series), but I have met a few people who liked Rez. Only one seemed to really REALLY enjoy it, but no one is as ga-ga over Rez as me.

I love Panzer Dragoon, love Sky Gunner and Star Fox. I love shooters and 3D shooters (though I'm sometimes luke-warm and usually downright hostile toward the first-person variety). I also happen to love music games like Parappa the Rapper, Um Jammer Lammy and the like. So when you combine a music game with a shooter and give it visuals like this, I'm bound to love it.

I've been saying for quite a long time that what games need is to throw out the insanely high-polygon graphics and instead focus on simple high-resolution graphics so we can have games that look like the ones from Tron. I never really imagined I would see it, but nowadays they are everywhere. From the remake of Battlezone and Missile Command, to Geometry Wars and Schizoid, that kind of graphics is here to stay. Rez may not be the first of it's kind, but it is definitely a work of art. The splashes of color that accompany shots, the catchy music and ulockable bonus levels and modes keep you playing in classic Sega fashion, while the stellar gameplay, and incredibly exhilerating and soothing experience of actually playing the game ensure you will never get bored.

I keep finding myself returning and returning to the game to have just one more play-through, just one more feel-good, toe-tapping moment of enjoyment. This is a very enjoyable game. And now that it's available for download on the cheap in high-definition there are no more excuses. Every serious fan of video game art and unique play experiences needs to own Rez, if only to ensure that games of its caliber and recognized for their excellence and new ones like them are made. I love Rez, and hope you will too.
